The Concert of the Year

The MRCS school winter concert was on December 5th. This concert was the first concert for the new music teacher - Mr. Maas (our good friend) and was for the K - 3rd grade class. Hannah's class sang was called "Winter's Gift" it was fabulous (not just as a mom). Then the whole group sang Video Killed the Radio Star. It was so AWESOME! Here are some pictures of Hannah and Mr. Maas. Also, I tried to add a video of "Pull Shapes."

Thanksgiving

Well this Thanksgiving was a crazy time at the Nell household. The weekend prior to turkey day the kids had the flu, then Monday uncle Greg got the flu, then on Wednesday Dad got it. The kids (now healthy) and I went to stay at a hotel.

The next morning after swimming and eating breakfast we went over to Auntie Cathy's house. The kids favorite was the marshmallows on the yams... not the yams ... just the marshmallows.

We stayed for a few hours and then headed home to see if Dad was better.

Everyone is better now and we are all thankful for a great year.

Wow, how does time fly...

Okay, here is what I have been up to since the last post. It has been a busy month and the holidays are CRAZY!!!


In November I was offered a new job at Juneau Urgent and Family Care as the Clinic Administrator (fancy name for office manager). I started working part time on November 27th in the evenings learning the way the new office works. So while working at Legislative Audit I worked at the new job - man I am so not a a two job kind of gal.

My first full day at the new clinic was December 10th. I miss my old job, but I am sure this is a good move for me.

Seattle Day 5

Okay I will make this last one short and sweet!

I missed home and my kids and was looking forward to coming home... UNTIL I spoke to Joe and he told me that it was snowing... at which point Jeri and I seriously thought about heading to visit my Mom in Vegas!

We sat in the sun watching out luggage and the Full Circle Farms boxes being loaded... it was going to get into the mid-60s in Seattle and we were headed home to snow. SIGH.

I can't wait to start planning my next trip.

Day 4 Seattle - SHOPPING

So on our fourth day we lucked out and got an extra hour of sleep do to Daylight Savings time. We headed up to the Premium Outlet Center. OH WHAT Fun.

We had a good breakfast at IHOP (thanks to Mona and MapQuest)! Then off to shop. The outlet opened at 10am and we were there. About 1pm we headed to lunch and had great soup, salad and bread - Anthony's I think was the name of the restaurant. Back to the outlet center and more shopping. Em and I stuck together the whole day... man we laughed. We tried on things we wouldn't ever wear, and some things we thought we wouldn't wear and ending up bringing home cause darn-it it looked good! We bought a lot and had to pack it... our bed was covered!

At 4:30ish we headed back to the hotel. We all then went to this FABULOUS Mediterranean Restaurant. WOW the food was great. Tons of garlic!!! TONS!!!



Em and I headed after dinner to our room to finish our movie and watch another!! I love trips with the girls!
